  title = {Convergences between the Brazilian National Health Plan and scientific articles on Neglected Tropical Diseases},
  abstract = {<jats:p>In Brazil, the National Health Plan (NHP) was the central instrument for public health planning from 2016~to 2019. In this paper, we show that there is a convergence between the Plan and the publication of scientific~articles written by institutional researchers in the context of Neglected Tropical Diseases. The methodology~used consisted of the following stages: identification of the universe of researchers, data collection, thematic~characterization of Neglected Tropical Diseases in the Plan, organization of information, and production~of indicators. In total, there were 2,719 researchers and 18,023 journal articles from 2015 to 2018. Of these,~2,541 articles, or 14.09\%, were related to Neglected Tropical Diseases. Regarding the convergences, there~was strong alignment with leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, dengue, leprosy, schistosomiasis, and Chikungunya~fever. However, the coverage of topics by scientific publications was broader than that of the political~instrument due to the inclusion of other themes: snake bites, helminthiasis and lymphatic filariasis.</jats:p>},
